We hope that you find their experiences helpful to your own situation. To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Grayboy and FIV I adopted a fully grown stray male cat, bought him a heated house, fed him for 4 months. Now that he would let me pick him up, I took him to the vet to have him neutered, to get his shots, etc. 2 hours later, the vet calls to tell me Grayboy tested positive for FIV I was blown away. I have three other cats, 16, 13, and 12 years old. My vet told me that my only choice was to put Grayboy “down” to prevent my other three from contracting the virus. I trusted my vet. Now I feel the guilt of the world on my back for allowing him to do this. Has this happened to anyone else? Comments
